We assemble in Orlando strong in spirit and confidence . In our unity and partnership in NACHC, we have made it a successful year carrying forward our mission’s work to expand the reach of health care to America’s medically underserved . We have reason to be proud . We sustained support for the Health Center Program . Our victory win on the primary care funding cliff again reflects strong congressional bipartisan support and recognition that health centers are a vital part of the nation’s health delivery system . In a value-driven and competitive health world, we strengthened technology infrastructure and workforce to enhance capacity for greater performance and cost effectiveness . We answered the nation’s call for increased substance use disorder and mental health services – preparing health centers for an enlarged role in public health crises – including the devastating opioid epidemic . On all fronts, we have persevered with leadership and strategically focused goals . Importantly, in a challenging health care environment with dramatic shifts in health policy, we asserted a strong collective voice at state and national levels on behalf of our patients and communities . Through our work and advocacy, we have raised greater understanding of the complex needs of the populations we serve and the issues we face as providers . And, as never before, the nation sees the value and worth of a community-based health system of primary care to improve health – and achieve cost savings . Going forward, our goal is to build on our progress . We know there are many challenges on the horizon that pose threats to our programs, Medicaid, and the health safety net . At this year’s CHI, we will discuss those challenges as well as the new opportunities ahead . The CHI is our opportunity to learn – to share experiences and perspectives on issues of concern – and to position ourselves for the future . On behalf of the Officers and Board of Directors of NACHC, let me express sincere appreciation for your dedicated work and for sustaining support of our Association through your membership and active engagement . Also, special thanks to our State/ Regional Primary

  • Yaa Amponsah and the Rhythm at the Heart of West African Guitar
    “You can’t run away from it! The melody will always appear!” Yaa Amponsah and the Rhythm at the Heart of West African Guitar A thesis submitted by Nathaniel C. Braddock in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Music Tufts University August 2020 Adviser: Jeffrey Summit © 2020, Nathaniel C. Braddock Abstract The song “Yaa Amponsah” is held by Ghanaian musicians as the key to all highlife music. However, Amponsah occupies two spaces: that of a specific song with folkloric and historical origin stories, and that of a compositional form—or “Rhythm”—from which countless variations have evolved over the past century. This thesis seeks to define Amponsah as a style where certain characteristics are not always clear but are continually present and recognizable cross-nationally. Using musical analysis and ethnographic interviews with West African guitarists, I explore the movement of Amponsah across generations and national boundaries, drawing larger conclusions that have implications for understanding the transmission of cultural practice and embedded cultural memory carried within a specific musical expression. The Rhythm makes impactful appearances in the music of neighboring countries, becoming entwined with the Mami Wata myth, further complicating our understanding of ownership and origin, and bringing this song to the center of a debate regarding ownership of folkloric intellectual property and the relationship between developing nations and global capital. i Acknowledgements My journey has been supported by numerous people, and I wish now to salute their love, friendship, and guidance. My wife Julie Shapiro and son Phineas have given the most during this process, but I also owe much to my parents Robert and Sarah Braddock whose respect of my independence enabled me to follow the less trodden paths.

  • Book of Remembrance Capuchin Province of St. Joseph
    Book of Remembrance Capuchin Province of St. Joseph January 1In In charity, let us remember our brother(s) (and affiliates) whose anniversary of death occurs tomorrow. Pancratius Spruck [ Pan -cray- shus Shprewk], who died at Mt. Calvary in 1886, at age 18, after four months in the Scholasticate. Pancratius came from Our Lady of Sorrows Parish in New York City. He entered the Scholasticate at Calvary and was invested into the Third Order of St. Francis. He possessed a genuine piety and was looking forward to entering the novitiate when Sister Death called him unexpectedly. Five years later, his brother entered the Order as Br. Francis, and following the death of his mother, his father also joined the Province as a Third Order Brother. Michael Albers [Al- burrs ], who died at Mt. Calvary in 1931, at age 83, after 58 years of religious life. Born in Germany, Michael came to America at age 21 and entered the novitiate at Calvary. Very hardworking, over the years and in various fariaries he served as porter, baker and gardener. He built the bakery at Mt. Calvary, and helped in the construction of the road that leads from the village to the monastery. Michael’s longest assignment was as porter at St. Joseph’s in Appleton where he remained for 30 years. At age 83, he retired to Mt. Calvary where he looked after the cemetery and spent his time in prayer for our deceased brothers. Michael was remembered as “a true Capuchin — simple and charitable.” Accursius Barthruff [a-CURSE-ee-us BAR-truff], who died at Yonkers in 1946, at age 71, after 52 years of religious life.

  • Weinberg Linernts 9457.Indd
    Cover Art Weinberg A MESSAGE FROM THE MILKEN ARCHIVE FOUNDER Dispersed over the centuries to all corners of the earth, the Jewish people absorbed elements of its host cultures while, miraculously, maintaining its own. As many Jews reconnected in America, escaping persecution and seeking to take part in a visionary democratic society, their experiences found voice in their music. The sacred and secular body of work that has developed over the three centuries since Jews fi rst arrived on these shores provides a powerful means of expressing the multilayered saga of American Jewry. My personal interest in music and deep abiding commitment to synagogue life and the Jewish people united as I developed an increasing appreciation for the tremendous diversity of music written for or inspired by the American Jewish experience. Through discussions with contemporary Jewish composers and performers during the 1980s, I realized that while much of this music had become a vital force in American and world culture, even more music of specifi cally Jewish content had been created, perhaps performed, and then lost to current and future generations. Believing that there was a unique opportunity to rediscover, preserve, and transmit the collective memory contained within this music, the Milken Archive of American Jewish Music was founded in 1990. The passionate collaboration of many distinguished artists, ensembles, and recording producers has created a vast repository of musical resources to educate, entertain, and inspire people of all faiths and cultures. The Milken Archive of American Jewish Music is a living project, one that we hope will cultivate and nourish musicians and enthusiasts of this richly varied musical genre.

  • A Critical Anaysis of Identity, Media, and Popular Music in the Voice Of
    WHOSE VOICE?: A CRITICAL ANALYSIS OF IDENTITY, MEDIA, AND POPULAR MUSIC IN THE VOICE OF CHINA Xinxin Jiang A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY August 2018 Committee: Alberto González, Advisor Angela Ahlgren Graduate Faculty Representative Katherine Meizel Becca Cragin © 2018 Xinxin Jiang All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Alberto González, Advisor This manuscript explores the relationships among identity, media, and popular music in Chinese society through an examination of a televised singing competition franchise, The Voice of China. I attempt to understand what role popular culture, in the form of a contemporary popular cultural product, plays in Chinese people’s everyday life and how the show is a site where Chinese people articulate, interrogate and negotiate aspects of identity. I provide a textual analysis to interpret the meaningful details of each episode while employing a critical-cultural approach to understand the socio-historical contexts and the online discourse that are conducive to the uniqueness of the international franchise. More specifically, I examine how societal discourses on the blind audition and the voting systems of the show reveal growing public awareness of and concern with issues of equity and fairness in the cultural arena of traditional aesthetic standards as well as the societal arena of electoral politics. I also explore how the show reinforces the ruling Party’s appropriations of nationalism in a sophisticated way to highlight a unified and supreme national voice, how it reflects both a loosening grip of the central government on gender representation and a growing social leniency toward gender diversity, and finally how the voice diversity was constructed by individuals who are in possession of or in need of various forms of social capital and who are from geographically diverse and economically disparate social backgrounds.
